A 40-preset tuner from Yamaha

Want to add AM/FM radio to your home stereo system? The Yamaha T-S500 tuner is the perfect complement to your integrated amplifier and is designed to match Yamaha's A-S500. With 40 presets, you'll have plenty of room for stations you love as well as ones you only occasionally scan. The rotary knob makes switching easy, and the T-S500 will automatically program the 40 strongest FM stations for you.

The T-S500's large two-line display is easy to read from your couch, so you can see what station you're listening to. If you have a Yamaha integrated amp, the amp's remote will control the T-S500, so there's no need to get up to change stations.

Yamaha T-S500

I received the receiver in a very short period of time. Receiver works fine! Only wish it could be turned on/off with the Yamaha amplifier remote control since they're from the same family. Maybe consider putting an switch outlet on the back of amplifier that the receiver could turn on/off with amp? Just my thought. Outside of this one tidbit....receiver is doing it's job.

Yamaha Reinvents Its Product Line

Good solid tuner at a reasonable price;. I appreciate the ability to reduce remote clutter and use remote on Yamaha integrated amp. I owned Yamaha components in mid 70's and I am delighted to find out the name still represents quality and dependability! Also want extend my complements to your product support staff for their assistance in eliminating a set up glitch.

Pros:Simple and logical control set up. The tuner pulls in stations in a dead zone in my residence.

Cons:It would be nice if remote controlled power on/.off on the tuner ot if the amp had a power outlet that the tuner could be plugged into. A minor issue.

T-S500 AM - FM Tuner

I have no problems with this tuner. It is simple, but that just means I do not have to be a rocker scientist to use it. I thought it was a little pricey. My wife said but the dad gum thing and we did and I am very happy that we did. There are some really good AM stations here that I like to listen too, and this tuner picks them up and they sound very good. I give this tuner all the pros and no cons. The FM reception in this city is excellent.

Good basic package but disappointing sonic performance

I really wanted to like this tuner. It's simple, had good sensitivity/selectivity, intuitive UI, etc. But the sound quality was way sub-par. It had a thin sound overall that lacks any sense of depth or refinement. I wasn't expecting much at this price range, but it's almost as if engineers at Yamaha forgot how to make a decent tuner. I ended up returning it.

Pros:Good sensitivity - able to pull in weak stations in Stereo better than most tuners I've tried, Good UI, Elegant styling

Basic Tuner

I would rate this 5 stars out of 6, but a remote control is NOT included, but the TS500 will work with Yamaha remotes, and the big display does not include RDS data. So this is a very basic tuner. However, what it can do is deliver astounding FM reception and hi-fidelity with great dynamics and tremendous bass. Output is on the high side compared with other Yamaha stereo components, so you have to adjust the volume to avoid getting "blasted." In my judgement, the Yamaha TS500 compares to the Dynalab MD90 FM tuner in sensitivity, selectivity, and dynamics. However the Dynalab is 2.5 times the price of the Yamaha!

Yamaha T-S500

A good-sounding tuner when the transmitted signal is stong, but reception on anything but the strongest signals is far below that of my 15-year-old Yamaha TX-950 tuner using the same antenna in the same location.

Yamaha T-S500

I bought this Tuner because my wife likes to listen to the radio while she' s cleaning but I listen mainly to my iPod or Lp albums. It has the same sleek look that the amp does so it complements my room. It does what it's suppose to do and the amp does the rest so my wife is happy which means I am happy!

Yamaha T-S500 Tuner

This Yamaha tuner is much more sensitive than the tuner built into the Denon receiver that I had been using. FM reception is difficult where I live. Previously I had the receiver input set to Mono to reduce background noise. The Yamaha tuner when set at Stereo has less background noise than the receiver had when set at mono. FM reception is much better using the Yamaha T-S500 tuner, so I rate this tuner very highly.

Features

Overview: The Yamaha T-S500 is user-friendly AM/FM stereo
tuner that provides convenient tuning functions and a high visibility, two-line
display. It uses Yamaha's new HiFi component design that matches Yamaha integrated
amplifiers and receivers, but can also be used with any model integrated
amplifier or receiver with a stereo RCA input.

40-Station AM/FM Preset Tuning: The Yamaha T-S500 Tuner allows you to
store up to 40 AM/FM station presets. The T-S500 can be set to automatically
preset the 40 strongest FM stations on the dial so you don't have to select and
preset them manually. Thanks to Multi-Status Station Memory, each station memory
includes the parameters set when it was memorized, for optimum quality each time
it is selected.

Auto Search + Manual Tuning: Automatic tuning is effective when station signals are strong and there is no
interference. If the signal from the station you want to select is weak, tune
into it manually.

Stereo/Mono Mode (FM only): If the signal from an FM station is weak and
the sound quality is poor, set the tuner to monaural tuning mode to improve
reception.

RCA Output: The Yamaha T-S500 is fitted with stereo analog
RCA outputs to connect the tuner to the phono input of your integrated amplifier
or A/V receiver.

Display: The Yamaha T-S500 AM/FM Stereo Tuner is equipped with a
2-line, 16-character (5x7 dot matrix) display. The tuner's display provides a larger
amount of more precise information, making the tuning operation easier. You can
change the brightness level (1-4) of the display.

Front-Panel IR Sensor: The T-S500's front-panel IR sensor allows the
remote control from a Yamaha integrated amplifier or A/V receiver to
operate the tuner.
